Hello, my name is Alfredo, although many people know me as Fello. I was born in Mexico and have always been a responsible, hardworking person, committed to my family, my community, and my faith.
In recent years, my health has become a constant challenge.
At the beginning of the pandemic, I started feeling very tired, and after several tests, I was diagnosed with autoimmune cirrhosis. The necessary biopsy was complicated by a severe infection that put my life at risk.
In 2024, I suffered an encephalopathy caused by a change in my medication, which brought me back to the emergency room after losing coordination and consciousness.
In 2025, I went to the hospital for fluid retention and received the news that I had liver cancer and an aneurysm.
Today, after several treatments, I know that the only way to save my life is through a liver transplant. Since the end of 2025, I have been on the waiting list and I am looking for a living liver donor.
Sharing my story is not easy, but I do it with humility and hope. This has been very difficult for me and my family to process, but they are my greatest motivation to keep moving forward.
If you would like to help, please share this Living Liver Donor Campaign on your social media platforms and if you’d like to be evaluated as a potential donor for me, please click the link below and complete the Living Liver Donor Questionnaire and the Donor team at Northwestern Memorial Hospital will reach out to you.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
